O Bad Brains é uma influente banda americana de hardcore e reggae, formada em Washington,DC em 1977. São considerados um dos pioneiros do hardcore. A banda foi formada com o nome de Mind Power pelo guitarrista de jazz fusion Dr. Know (Gary Miller), em 1977. Junto a ele havia o vocalista Sid McCray, o baixista Darryl Jennifer e o baterista Earl Hudson. Originalmente formada com influências de funk e jazz fusion, a banda desenvolveu um punk rock muito mais rápido, intenso e musicalmente mais complexo e extremo que os seus contemporâneos. É considerada uma das primeiras bandas americanas de hardcore e, alguns anos depois foram os primeiros a fazer a fusão do heavy metal com o funk. Também são adeptos da música reggae, sendo seguidores da religião rastafári. Em 1978, o vocalista apresenta o punk rock para o resto da banda, que já andava escutando Black Sabbath na época, e isso mudou toda a percepção da banda. Por influência do vocalista, a banda fica obcecada pelo punk rock e mudam o seu nome para Bad Brains, nome de uma música do Ramones, mas o Bad (mau) com o sentido de poderoso. Apesar do forte envolvimento com o punk rock a banda tinha uma forte ligação com o reggae, que segundo boatos foi depois de ver Bob Marley em um show, que os integrantes mergulharam fundo no reggae adotaram como filosofia de vida a religião rastafári. Ainda no começo, a banda ficou conhecida em Washington por ser formada apenas por integrantes afro-americanos, o que era uma certa novidade para a época e também pelas apresentações enérgicas e o talento dos músicos, que tocavam um hardcore mais complexo e bem trabalhado. Por volta de 1979, o Bad Brains foi "banido" de diversos locais de shows, mudando-se mais tarde para a cidade de Nova York. Essa fase seria relatada mais à frente na música "Banned in D.C.". O primeiro single "Pay To Cum" foi prensado em poucas cópias e, em 1982, o álbum de estréia Bad Brains foi lançado apenas em formato de fita cassete pela gravadora ROIR. A banda demorou quase três anos para lançar outro álbum de estúdio, mas finalmente em 1986 sai pela SST Records o clássico I Against I, que é um álbum aclamado pela crítica de punk hardcore americano misturando Funk, Soul, e Heavy Metal, que para muitos foi o apogeu criativo da banda. O único da carreira do grupo que não traz Reggae. Há quem diga que o I Against I representa para o Bad Brains o mesmo que o London Calling representou para o The Clash. Em 1989 sai o álbum Quickness, que com sua sonoridade mais pesada, influenciada pelos intercâmbios entre o hardcore e o metal que ocorriam na época, neste álbum, a banda continua o mesmo estilo que usou em I Against I. Ainda assim, a maioria dos fãs considera Quickness um clássico. Com a explosão do rock alternativo nos anos 90, Dr. Know foi abordado por Epic Records em 1992, oferecendo à banda um contrato por uma grande gravadora. E em 1993 foi lançado o álbum Rise gravado com o baterista Mackie Jayson (que havia tocado como músico em Quickness) e com o vocalista Israel Joseph I. A banda ganhou um tributo chamado Never Give In: A Tribute To Bad Brains, com bandas grandes da cena metal/hardcore como Sepultura, Downset e Moby, que saiu no Brasil pela gravadora holandesa Century Media Records.

Despite the strong involvement with rock punk band had a strong connection with reggae, which was rumored after seeing Bob Marley in concert, the members plunged deep into reggae adopted as a philosophy of life Rastafarian religion. Still at the beginning, the band became known in Washington for being formed only by african-american members, which was a novelty at the time and also the energetic performances and talent of the musicians, who played a more complex hardcore and well worked. By 1979, the Bad Brains was "banned" from several local shows, moving later to the city of New York. This phase would be reported later in the song "Banned in DC". The first single "Pay To Cum" was pressed in a few copies, and in 1982, the debut album by Bad Brains was released only on cassette by ROIR label format.
